Living that Shadow life!

 

[clarence]

Not sold?

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Not sold?

Guy that was gonna buy it needs to sell 2-3 other boats before he can buy it. He loved it but no $$ yet

 

[clarence]

I remembered someone had called dibs on the Shadow.

Really cool ride!! I got dibs on it when you are done with it.

Ha. It was you.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

HydroSkreamin is such a great guy. All I did was mention I was gonna sell Shadow & get back into an outboard cat. This showed up under my carport last night. I'm stoked.......

Just remember that when Johnnie drops it off like that it may not leave for while. I know a guy from WI that found out the hard way. BTW just busting on him.

Liberator 22’ with a 450R …..damn, I’m a lil’ jelly. View attachment 1274234 View attachment 1274235 View attachment 1274236

This is Randy's latest (not last) sorry about that... 450R build. It's beautiful! We bought the first one Randy built with the 450R from him in July. We are having a lot of fun with it! Here's a couple pics.

Please tell us of the handling ??
Stability?
Speeds?
What is overall assessment of this mean combo?
Best thing about it?
Worst thing?
I am actually looking in to this potent combo as an updated option to what I have now…thanks!
A friend owns a 450R KMG hull and he says it has a nasty porpoise from 50-70 mph…Liberator same or different?

 

[stingray11]

“Last”….. like he’s done building boats?

I think he meant latest.

With a motor that heavy it's going to porpoise at some point.

Nice rig by the way.

Sorry, not last. I meant to say "latest".

 

[kobered]

Yes, we meant "latest". Sorry for the confusion. So far no porpoise problems with our setup.

Trailer is gonna get some love someday, if his life slows down just a tiny bit

You will LOVE it. Rick is an incredible driver, hope you get outside Golden Gate also. He took wife, me & Alex out there a few years ago. Be sure to be at least 45 min early for the meeting time to help him launch etc, he's always early.
Fyi: 1st pic is Gone Again Skater, 2nd pic is Ricks 377 Talon

4 seats with 5 point harness, on board air in case it goes over, cruising 100mph thru legit 3 footers like nothing

I’m psyched for Friday….Car boat Maximus!!!!!

You really don’t have to worry unless I start derigging and looking for ways to flip it onto the cart. If I do that, feel free to shoot me!

Anyway, he doesn’t have to worry as the StressEliminator has made the trek to Phoenix.

I really like the Tuff 20.

Tuff 20 with prod'n V6

from their Facebook page: "First standard Tuff20 on the water with a Mercury 225 V6 4 stroke, stock everything. Very pleased with the set up, its super fun to drive and a great little boat. We are at 80 mph, 6000 rpm and with some prop tuning and when the motor breaks in we expect to run...

www.screamandfly.com

But Tuff are now booking 4 years out and want a $5000CAN refundable deposit to hold a spot in line.

Not all bad: I'm liking my Waverunner, can't get a slip at my marina for a couple years anyway, and it gives Merc time to bring out a 200R, but still.

Will probably go ahead and hold the spot, but thought I'd ask: any thoughts?

Made another trip to Raystown Lake. We had some of the most beautiful weather in the 80s every day fog every morning. Fishing kind of suck cause it was so warm water temperature around 71 so caught a few bass and a real nice Lake trout.

The new garmin live scope is just out of this world fish finder You can see the bait balls in these pictures of Minnows.

And I got to try out my awesome new ionic cranking batteries with the Bluetooth app nothing like it you can be cruising along watching the voltage

go back on the batteries through your engine's alternator. And you talk about spinning an outboard motor holy Crap they spin my motors so fast they never started so quick.

I have a Tuff 21 that will be available early next year.

That'd be the smart move, but I've always liked buying new and getting exactly what I want.

I really like the idea of the 20's efficiency with the 225 too.

Lots of 300R boats I'd otherwise consider (Nordic 21, Chaudron 22, LCB 20, etc.).

What will you be replacing your 21 with?

 

[War Canoe]

Fleet week was insane

 

[War Canoe]

Great to see our Hooky day friends ….we had a phenomenal turnout of beautiful boats.
My first ride in a capsule boat. Very different, but the air conditioning was really unexpected and nice. Mid 80’s in SF Bay today. Water was Stoopid fast….laid down all day. Able to roll 140 easily.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Looks & sounds like a spectacular day. Where did u stop for lunch?

 

[War Canoe]

We brought food and ate while Blue Angels performed…great show !! Big thanks to Rick Bowling for a day to remember. I rolled into my driveway at 10 pm….I was jelly!

 

[Markus]

We brought food

I love the thinking.

If you save 100 bucks by bringing your own food, you cover the rebuild costs of running two 1350s for 12 minutes.

We saved no money! By the time I bought fresh rolls, 2 pounds of deli meat, clausen pickles, 4 types of salads, and a cookie desert, I spent $110.00…..but, it was better, or at least as good , as any deli joint. Thanks Joe Biden!

Some Hooky day pics…

Johnson V8 …not many on the water anymore. Hallett hull.

 

[sonicss31]

Perfect day at Woman Key today. Hope to see some of you down here for the Worlds In November.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Yesterday was Performance Boat Center Fall Fun Run, had a blast

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Watching Widow Maker Skater fly by all the boats & works its way past soooo many was very impressive. Some impressive hardware as always

 

[jperog]

Pretty tough to beat the beat the runs put on by PBC at LOTO. We had an incredible day and logged a bunch of miles running with friends..

Remember dropping off a couple of deliveries to Raquel, during my first job in America. I worked for Tri-Star Pictures in Century City, LA and she and her husband had a condo 10 minutes away. She was only 45 then and I was 23. She, Ann-Margret, and Demi Moore were my fave Hollywood encounters that year.

Solar Eclipse today…
